No. Only placed I know having restrictions / test and or vax'd is Samui & Phuket. I think, though possibly other islands. Nothing on the mainland that I'm aware of.

That would be me, if my situation changed ... ????

Surely that person would know the policy of the 12k+ hotels in Thailand.

Days past ... Simply to kill time at curbside bar on Soi 4, while GF is doing her thing, shopping, hair, visiting with family ... you get to view the eye candy / Thai life stroll by for a few hours. Especially in afternoon when 2 for 1 ????

Did they not always have that policy. Trying to enforce it is another thing. Don't know how they can, or who would pay, if reservation is booked for 2 guests. Hotels are usually per room in Thailand, not per person.

FB marketplace for local buy/sell. With translation apps, language isn't much of a barrier now of days. Especially for basic household items.

That depends on the bar. Some bars the gals have a quota of lady drinks they are suppose to solicit, if wanting to remain on staff, and get no portion of that. Many ARE missing the point. If you have to pay for someone to tolerate talking to you, do you really care where the money goes.

Affording to live anywhere, well, almost anywhere isn't problem. I just prefer to have a bit more jingle in the pocket after the bills are paid. Thailand's 'less taxes & cheap healthcare' makes that possible. I find the rest of the cost of living here isn't that much cheaper.

As if flying on a plane isn't uncomfortable enough. Just get up and take a stroll every hour. Not rocket science.

Too late ... ????

It's always about money ... the not so hidden agenda. Sadly, the blind majority can't see it.

Have the same 'coffee' machine. Makes an decent, inexpensive cup of Joan. But wouldn't use for espresso, if that's one's choice. As 15 bar, and pushes the water through too fast, no matter how fine your grind is. Good for home, not pro use though. Actually take it with us most times when out & about, depending where to & how long. Or fall back on ol' dependable.

????????????

or simply add a 2nd shift to the traffic police to enforce the helmet laws after dark.

To serve alcohol, you have to be SHA approved, I think, just more intrusive control. Same as 1st world countries, going to over regulate people out of business.

Name a country that has 'human rights' as it's priority. I left the USA, after they, and the rest of the 'good moral' countries joined in, and starting invading and occupying sovereign countries (Iraq & Afghan) for NO reason, simply because they could. Killed, direct or indirectly about 1 million people and displaced even more millions. Can't fight the tyranny, under any name, so it's me me me situation. No different than shopping, I have no allegiance, give me the best product for fair price, and I'm going with that.

Oh c r a p ... they're back. Honey, scratch Phuket again, till next total country lockdown ???? Feb 2021

Rare I every sip at a restaurant. When I did, depending on venue, I'd go max, 50% mark up over supermarket price. I won't pay more for my beverage than the meal. I don't do bars. Nobody carries my preferred tipple anyway. Use to sip Beer Lao, but switched off. Last time was 120 baht (up from 100 baht the week prior ????), couple years ago, and thought that a bit silly, as 100% mark up at the time. Nice venue though, but apparently I'm not the only one who stopped going, as been empty since their price increase.

buy what you need for the flight, and use that free universal healthcare y'all brag about all the time.???? If you're taking all 3 at the same time ... you may have problem you haven't accepted yet. You usually the last to know you do.

Not a big fan of it myself, though have certainly eaten my share. Do need to choose your vendor wisely, and location (off main, dusty rd), along with fresh cooked. Those generalizing it as unhealthy & unsanitary, have a point, sort of, though doubt if any of you ever worked in a restaurant with that attitude. If so, you'd never eat out again. Never gotten sick from street food, buy have 3x from restaurants, 2 here, 1 USA. Actually not bad, considering how many times, and what c r a p I've eaten from all vendors, street or non. I do prefer to sit at proper table & chairs, and if AC even better, so food courts win with me usually. Offering the same plus so much more than a side soi full of vendors. Choosing wisely is the key to all dining ... ENJOY

I like Pizza Co. also, their NY Style pizzas (crust ????), and partial to their pepperoni. 18" is an amazing bargain. Though not sure most deliver that size. Also comes a smaller size. There other pizzas, crust are too bready for me, and most usually are too oily on bottom. Hit & miss with that. NY style seems to be consistent. We good for one every week or 2. Another 'NY style' is SOHO Pizza, with a few outlets in the area.

That situation, no time to be concerned about the snake, kill it, before it slithers away to be a threat another day, bag/box it, and off the hospital, ASAP.

I think you need a new sparky if you even have to ask, and he doesn't plan on running the ground back to the breaker panel, and from there, 'earthed' in the earth / ground with a copper wrapped ground pole. New builds, it's the law anyway, all outlets & wiring should be grounded also.

Hence the ... if ... in my reply ... ????

As suggested, if can get an IDP online, and sent to you, probably the easiest. Your local DLT may accept, or simply watch the vid, test & drive is also simple enough.
